Deep Roots of Fiscal Behavior by Serhan Cevik, Katerina Teksoz

“…In addition, the paper finds that macro-financial factors (such as real exchange rate, financial development, interest rates, asset prices, and natural resource rents) and demographic and institutional factors (such as the old-age dependency ratio, the quality of institutions, and policy anchors such as fiscal rules and IMF-supported stabilization programs) tend to have a significant effect on fiscal policy behavior. …”

Experimental Study on Frost Resistance of Nano-silicon Oxide-Rubber Recycled Concrete by LIU Liu

“…To study the frost resistance of nano-silicon oxide-rubber recycled concrete,this paper prepares the recycled concrete,with the substitution rate of recycled coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate of 30%,that of natural river sand by rubber powder of 0,1%,3%,5%,etc.and that of cement by nano SiO₂ of 0%,1.5% and 3.0% respectively,and conducts the freeze-thaw cycle test of nano-silicon oxide and rubber powder recycled concrete with different content.The experimental results show that:After addition of rubber powder and nano-SiO₂,the frost resistance of recycled concrete is improved.As the freeze-thaw cycles reach 50,and the content of rubber powder and nano-SiO₂ is 5% and 3% respectively,the improvement on the frost resistance of recycled concrete is the best,and the strength loss rate is 45.5% lower than that of ordinary concrete.…”

Fast panoramic image stitching algorithm based on parameter regression by Fan GUO, Xiaohu LI, Wentao LIU, Jin TANG

“…In reality, the field of view of images acquired by cameras was usually limited, and the demand for panoramic images was increasing.Therefore, a fast panoramic image stitching algorithm based on parameter regression was proposed for panoramic image sequences.The traditional image registration task was transformed into deep learning combined with machine learning, a multi-scale deep convolutional neural network (MDCNN) based on Gaussian difference pyramid was designed to extract features of stitching images, and LightGBM regression model was used to predict stitching parameters.The transformation matrix and the focal length of the camera were obtained to align the images, and a hyperbolic image fusion algorithm was designed to eliminate the stitching seam between the images.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can quickly mosaic images and obtain clearer and more natural panoramic mosaic effects than the existing representative algorithms.It also has good adaptability for infrared images.…”

Opium the Best Remedy by Harold Merskey

“…As can be seen from his text, they were about whether the drug was available in adequate preparations, whether there was any difference between opium and other narcotics, particularly comparing the natural juice with "its artificial preparations" (1) (all of which he thought to be about equal in effect), whether it was stimulant or restorative and invigorating, and whether it was being properly used for all the conditions in which it could be helpful. …”
